And, Thank You, All

[elfs]

I don't handle death well. I know why, and I had a gazillion thoughts on why, and maybe someday I'll write them all down. But I just wanted to say thanks to all the people who wrote, here or in email, telling us how sorry they were for our loss. It meant a lot to me, and I appreciate you all for it.

Thank you.

We do what we can do.

I am sorry to hear of your loss.

Funny how we try to say the right thing and do the right thing but sometimes we just fail miserably? I am bad at death as well. I run. Badly.

I lost my kitty years ago and I have never been bale to have a cat since. For me it is to hard. I have dogs since my wife is the dog person and I get attached, but she is the one who brings a new pet home after we have lost one. I run.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think of it as a fear of death. I have gone in after and done the ritual, and placed coin, and sang the laments, but to be there when it happens destroys me.

So I run.

I am sorry for your loss and I am sorry that she will never wake up and I feel that you are the sort of person who will do everything you can, to the best of your ability. If you think you handle death poorly I think you probably did just fine.

The condolences of my house and family go out to you at your loss.
